If you haven't been paying attention the San Diego Padres for nearly all of their existence, I don't blame you. It has been a deep, dark place to venture into, and unless you live here, why the hell would you? But since signing Manny Machado in 2019, this team has been

You know what that means! No, fuck your spooky season, and quadruple-venti-fuck your PSL season. (Cider season is better anyway, comparing apples to pumpkins.) It's ALL THE SPORTS season! Football is in full swing, now it's the baseball playoffs, the NHL season starts in Czechia on Friday and in North America on

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: “So, how was Boston, Senor?”

It was nice, thanks for asking. As much as one would say that there's nothing like getting dressed up to get drunk (specifically, Hermana Weaselo and one of my coworkers), it's also nice to be at an event that has no alcohol in it altogether, and the roast beef tea

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: 30 Questions for 30 Teams (or, sorry everyone, it’s an MLB preview!)

Yeah, since the season starts tomorrow (non-Korean games edition), it's something to farm #content with. Teams will be in standings order from last season, division by division. So, without further ado, and dodging your rotten tomatoes and full alcohol containers, let's do this so we can get to complaining in

If you hadn't heard, it rained last weekend in the city. And the entire East Coast. I guess Project Arcturus is finally up and running, though the Queensboro Bridge is still upright. (Nobody calls it by its current official name, the Ed Koch Bridge. You know who else wouldn't call

We now take you to "Senor Weaselo Makes Bad Fantasy Football Choices," already in progress. De'Von Achane was a great depth pickup for later on in the season and his projected "rest of season" points were higher than my previous RB. I just did not foresee that all of those points

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwZdDyH9LLc Ah, yes, summer in the big city. The subway stations are oppressively hot (dear god, Herald Square in summer), the Mister Softee trucks have been pushed out by bootlegs (like New York Soft Serve), and the Canada wildfire smoke has (mostly) subsided! We hope. It's that time, because they don't yearly

Well, for anyone who watched, that was a bit of an eh game at least in the middle innings. The 8th and 9th were interesting though. For anyone who didn't, the NL beat the AL 3-2 in the All-Star Game in Seattle last night on the strength of an 8th

Man, am I gonna look dumb if he makes a decision between now (it is 11:12 Eastern) and when this goes up. But anyway, the NFL world continues to wait on Aaron Rodgers, who's come out of his darkness retreat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ojczn6rfvY RIP Charlie Murphy and Rick James. and didn't specifically say anything about
